Jan Hein Arens
Netherlands (the)
Today Jan-Hein’s painting combines common elements painted realistically with flights of abstract painting. Some drawn black lines highlight the work, creating a harmony between Pop Art and CoBrA.
For Jan-Hein Arens, the world is composed of two types of images: real ones and those imagined by man. While artificial representations of all kinds invade everyday life, he tries to achieve the opposite. Alternating a humorous and a sombre tone, he paints ordinary objects in a different or absurd context. Jan-Hein Arens encourages the viewer to reflect on the deeper meaning of these images.
